Corey Feldman ‘Can No Longer Defend’ Michael Jackson

Corey Feldman went on Headline News to clarify his position on the Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland. While still affirming that Jackson never molested him, Feldman acknowledged that his experience does nothing to negate those of Jackson’s alleged survivors. “I cannot in good consciousness defend anyone who’s being accused of such horrendous crimes, but at the same time, I’m also not here to judge him because he did not do those things to me and that was not my experience,� he told Headline News. “My place is not to be the judge and not to be the accuser and not to be the defender, my job in this is to focus on what’s most important, which is helping to reform the statutes of limitations in every state because if we can reform the statutes of limitations, we can prevent things from ever getting to this point.� Feldman said that he watched the first part of the HBO documentary, and it didn’t line up with his experiences with Jackson. But he also knew too well that molesters are good at lying and covering up their crimes. Feldman disclosed his abuse in his 2013 memoir, Coreyography. Feldman also gave CNN a statement which read in part: “As a survivor and someone who has been fighting for this to become a focal topic of our society for decades and is fighting diligently to abolish the statutes of limitations across the country, I applaud all victims for letting their voices be heard and I encourage the public debate to continue.�
